I'm a relatively new Dafa practitioner.  I obtained the Fa in November of last year. I recently attended my first Falun Dafa Sharing Conference in Houston, Texas. On top of having been able to benefit from the power of the event, I had the opportunity to
travel with three very good veteran practitioners from my region. Their determination had a tremendous impact on me and I would like to take the opportunity to thank them from the bottom of my heart. 

With their behavior they showed me to eliminate hesitation in everything we do and to be confident when we clarify the truth. Every instant when we hesitate to validate the Fa, a door is left wide open for interference to manifest itself and our foundations become unstable.

I understood one thing: questioning ourselves is good, but doubts shouldn't be allowed to take root.

When I arrived home, coming back from Houston, I sent forth righteous thoughts before going to bed. I acknowledged a new state of mind: I entered tranquility quickly,
but I had the impression that messages were moving around in my field and were annoying me. They were some sort of distant voices similar to those of the people I traveled with to the conference.

When I recited the formulas, the voices would go away, but a few seconds later they would come back. Without making a big deal out of it, after the 15 minutes period of sending righteous thoughts, I went to bed. Even though I was tired, I couldn't sleep for some time. When sleep finally came, I found myself in a semi-conscious state where I felt severe discomfort, as though I was badly intoxicated with a powerful drug.  I knew right away it was interference.

In this state I had a violent nausea and was overwhelmed by the feeling of having betrayed Master. I had the idea to send forth righteous thoughts. I was about to lift
my right hand when an evil force crept behind me like a draft accompanied by demonic whispers. Feeling this force getting closer I felt a bit of fear and I woke up
yelling a timid ''No!''...

For a few moments I stayed in a foggy state thinking about all of this. It would be impossible for me to go back to sleep with this demon waiting to cause some more
trouble. I had to send righteous thoughts. Lying on my bed, right hand in front of the
chest, I thought that I would eliminate this demon. A great battle took place.

As soon as I had this thought, my head began to feel tremendous pain as if someone was stabbing it repeatedly. It was very intense. I had no other choice than to call Master. My words were close to these: ''The power of Master Li and Dafa is boundless. I am his disciple and bearer of Zhen-Shan-Ren, which rules over all things. The old forces are completely eliminated!" 

The pain immediately stopped and a benevolent energy went through my body from the top of my head. It's with immense gratitude that I could go back to sleep.

This morning, as I write these words, I'm still digesting this episode and hope to understand it better. One thing is certain: when our faith is unshakeable, the
power of Dafa is accessible and truly boundless. Thank you Venerable Master.

My understanding of Dafa is shallow, so please, if anything is inappropriate or
inaccurate, kindly let me know.
